[b]Alaerin[/b] holds up a hand with a clenched fist closed signaling all to halt progress...

Crouching down he looks at the stone floor looking for any sign of tracks in the dust and tapping the floor with the tip of his Greatsword at a maximum reach to see if he can find any pressure tiles.  He also peers at the statues lining the hallway... looking for any ominous holes in their faces that might indicate some kind of poison dart flinging trap.

He will gesture to [b]Automata: Von Mackstein I[/b], [color=00aeef]"[i]Piece[/i]...er I mean [b]Mackstein I[/b] ~ I request ypur Technical and Tactical assessment."[/color]

He will share his suspicions about potential floor tile pressure plate and possibly poison dart-throwers from the statues, and though that may not be a threat to [b]Mackstein[/b] and his [b]Trooper Units[/b]... that need not be the actual trap here it could be something different.

[color=00aeef]"I would offer I manifest my [color=6ecff6][i][b]Lightning Ward[/b][/i][/color] Ability to emit an Electromotive Barrier to protect myself as I walk down the center of the Hall... while Your Trooper Units advance two-by-two moving along the hallway's sides using the Statues for cover behind my advance... looking for hostiles or even potential trigger traps as I advance slowly.  If there are no traps but perhaps instead a guardian beast lairing here... Your Trooper Units will already be in position to crossfire the Threat."[/color]

[color=00aeef]"What is Your Assessment of this Tactic? Can you provide a better tactical approach or modify the Strategy?"[/color]
